Staff Reporter
ITANAGAR, Sept 25: Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) State unit today revealed that it would extend support to the Peoples Party of Arunachal (PPA) in constituencies where it would not field its candidates hinting the first pre-poll alliance of the ensuing Assembly elections.

Party general secretary Tai Tagak, while talking to the media, said the party has resolved to restrict the number of its contesting candidates this year in view its interest. He said, “We are open to any regional parties and like-minded persons for negotiation”. Reiterating that BJP’s endeavour is to bring a change and end the political instability, Tagak blamed the ruling party of failing to meet with people’s expectation. He also claimed that his party would give a good fight to its rivals and alleged the ruling party of using money and muscle power to gain mileage in the run-up to the elections.

Highlighting the party’s manifesto, Tagak said that BJP is firmly committed to an agenda which the party would like to deliver after coming to power.

“We have carefully drawn our priorities based on the hopes and aspirations of the common people, which have been deliberately denied for years by successive governments and defectors.” THE SENTINEL
